[@jorrickthole6505]

Great video !!! The client part was very clarifying for me. Thanks Bobby 🤘💀🤘

[@TheGarageRecordingSC]

Yep totally agree about looking for a good bands and offering free work. Just about every big-name out there started that way. That’s exactly what I did. Looked for bands that played really well live, and were professional. Talked to them after they played and offered free work. That work lead to paid work. Rinse and repeat. Great advice as always brother.🤜🏻🤛🏻

Great video Can’t wait to hear the rest of the questions & answers in the coming weeks

[@AlexeySolovievMusic]

Awesome video Bobby! Thank you so much! Really helpful one!

[@FrightboxRecording]

Thanks for watching, Alexey!

[@erickmazur807]

This is a great series. I have a thousand questions. Bobby is my kind of producer

[@davidasher22]

OMG.. I’m in Jersey too. It’s been pretty rough this month.

[@correametal]

Awesome like always Bobby! Your words of wisdom are really appreciated! Thanks!

[@two2ixmusic]

Thanks Bobby!! You have taught me a lot over the last year!!

[@erickmazur807]

Same here

[@crissabater7698]

Hi Bobby, great video mate. Hope you do more of these in the future. I really like your style and the fact that you are not trying to push plugins or hardware on people. It is very refreshing to see in today's KZbin world. Keep up the great work, certainly my favourite channel for Music production. Cheers.

[@FrightboxRecording]

Thanks Cris!

[@RaytownProductions]

Love this format Bobby! Learned a lot from this video. Looking forward to episode 2. Cheers!

[@FrightboxRecording]

Glad you dug it, Bobby!

[@maraudermusic2714]

Awesome! Love this and look forward to more! Well done!!

[@AgentMeat]

Thank you very much for answering my room resonance question; I suspected it was to deal with it at the source. The room sounds good overall and is tall but the side walls are bare. Time to drag some furniture around. Thanks again, Barry

[@FrightboxRecording]

Thanks for the question, Barry!

[@AgentMeat]

@@FrightboxRecording Thank you for the answer! I have to pound it in to my head to get it right at the source. . . Maybe a reverse text forehead tattoo?

[@markbeitle5297]

Cant wait to get a question in!

[@FrightboxRecording]

Stay tuned 🤘

[@cw555]

Would you consider doing a video where you rate mixes people send you or something similar and give feedback? Think a lot of people would find that super useful! Thanks

[@Sergio-nb4hj]

I was gonna suggest this too! If there's any channel I want to see do mix reviews, it's this one

[@FrightboxRecording]

That's a great idea!

[@MattcMorgan]

Great vids man. Your tutorials made my last project sound great! Slowly building a playlist of your tutorials for quick reference because I can’t remember everything hahaha

[@FrightboxRecording]

Hell yeah, happy to hear that!

[@AlbertodeVictoria]

This will be a great video series. Question: How we know we have a bad recording room? I mean, what should hear in a bad room. reverb is a clue but what else ??

[@FrightboxRecording]

It's tricky because there's no such thing as a "perfect" room. You'll know that you're having issues if you hear obvious room spill into your mics....although sometimes it can be cool.

[@adamwells6079]

Your videos have been extremely helpful and my mixes for my own band are really coming along. I'm thinking of working with other bands but I live in a small city so my local clientele would be limited at best. How often do you work with non-local artists and how do they find you? How do you advertise your services to a global audience?

[@FrightboxRecording]

I mainly work with bands from the east coast. These days I'm mixing 80% of the time and those clients can be from anywhere. Apparently there's a lot of metal happening in Australia. I never really advertised, it's all word of mouth. Usually bands hit me up after a release comes out that I've recorded or mixed. For example, I just did an EP and LP with a band called Tombs that's known internationally. When other bands come across it, they usually ask if I can mix their stuff. I'll definitely be covering this more in future videos. Hope that helps, Adam!

[@EvilBlakey]

Great video! I recently got back into your content because I just started recording some of my own stuff, and your tutorials are a lot easier to follow than songs other youtubers, especially since you're focused on metal. My question is this: regarding bass, you've mentioned that you don't bother frequency splitting (lows get compressed, highs get distorted) and that you just blend a clean and dirty signal. I use a Darkglass X7 with my band which does split and compress/distort the lows and highs. It sounds great and is the best dirt I've ever had for bass, but do you think I could get a little extra oomph or sparkle by blending in the clean signal from the parallel output, possibly even compressing it? Cheers from Denmark!

[@FrightboxRecording]

If it works for you, stick with it. It's not to dissimilar to what I do. I'm mixing an album right now where the producer printed the distortion on the bass track and I just used the 100% dirty mic. If it sounds good, it is good.

[@jerryarmitage8904]

How would you go about mixing a Live band with only One Guitar Track? I use to played Bass for a High school friends band a few years ago and I recorded all our practice's. The Drummer who I grew up with Passed away recently. I want to mix those songs. Just wanted to know how you would go about it. Especially the Drum Tracks that have all the bleed from the other instruments and the Guitar Track only being one. Everything is Mic up except the Bass witch is a DI track

[@Sergio-nb4hj]

Are you capable of re-recording the guitar tracks?

[@codycreepcore]

try an aux send of a 100% wet short reverbed guitar panned slightly the opposite way

[@FrightboxRecording]

Great question Jerry! My favorite trick is to widen the guitar track. I usually send it to a stereo buss and delay one side by 20-25ms. Instant width.

[@CrushingAxes]

Hi hats always a nightmare!

[@FrightboxRecording]

Agreed. One of the most annoying things to get right.

[@tgstk2]

fingers crossed for my 15 min of fame~!

[@JimmyGangi]

Why you so jacked bro ?!?? Great video btw

[@FrightboxRecording]

Full-body workouts 3 X per week. Light weight/high volume....I'm old school 😂

[@JimmyGangi]

You need to start making those videos bro!!
